Episode 257 - Seth Rogen

This week on Breaking Bread Seth Rogen joins us at the table! He discusses all things about his new Apple+ series, The Studio - the inspiration, finding the humor in Hollywood studio execs, and having no one to blame but himself for creating difficult filming situations. He also shares an INSANE story about filming with a real tiger and fearing death. A true comedy legend. Enjoy!

The Studio is available to stream on Apple TV+ now! New episodes out every Wednesday.
